Reasoning PYQs

Given: (Left) 3, 6, 9, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 (Right)

Now,

We need to identify the unique single-digit numbers present in the series and count those that are exactly divisible by 3.

(Left) 3, 6, 9, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 (Right)

Now, identifying unique digits: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

Now, only valid unique digits: {3, 6, 9}

Total unique single-digit numbers divisible by 3 = 3

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Second number = (First number × 2) − 3

19, 35

⇒ (19 × 2) − 3

⇒ 38 − 3 = 35

28, 53

⇒ (28 × 2) − 3

⇒ 56 − 3 = 53

Now, checking the options:

Option 1) 36, 69

⇒ (36 × 2) − 3

⇒ 72 − 3 = 69

Option 2) 85, 166

⇒ (85 × 2) − 3

⇒ 170 − 3 = 167 (not 166)

Option 3) 73, 145

⇒ (73 × 2) − 3

⇒ 146 − 3 = 143 (not 145)

Option 4) 42, 85

⇒ (42 × 2) − 3

⇒ 84 − 3 = 81 (not 85)

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

Given

Statements:

All forks are kettles.

Some forks are spoons.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. Some kettles are spoons - Follows (Since some forks are spoons and all forks are kettles, those spoons are also kettles).

II. All spoons are forks - Does not follow (Only some forks are spoons; it does not mean all spoons are forks).

So, only conclusion I follows.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

Given: (Left) 3215674 (Right)

Now,

We need to modify each digit according to the given rule and then find the required positional sum.

So, the required logic is:

Odd digit → +1

Even digit → −1

(Left) 3 2 1 5 6 7 4 (Right)

New number formed: 4 1 2 6 5 8 3

First digit from left = 4

Third digit from right = 5

Now, Sum = 4 + 5 = 9

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given:

Shubham starts from Point A and drives 11 km South.

He turns right → 7 km West.

He turns right → 14 km North.

He turns right → 11 km East.

He takes a final right → 3 km South.

So, To reach Point A again, he must travel 4 km West.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

The logic followed here is:

thus, "400" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 1".

Given:

Total number of people = 54

Junaid’s position from left = 21

Sourav’s position from right = 12

Sum of positions from opposite ends = 21 + 12 = 33

Number of people between them = Total − (Sum of positions)

= 54 − (21 + 12)

= 54 − 33

= 21

Here, the number of people between Junaid and Sourav is 21.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given: (Left) 4, 9, 8, 5, 1, 6, 4, 5, 9, 6, 5, 3, 4, 9, 6, 2, 9, 4, 8, 5, 1, 1, 8, 4, 1, 5, 7 (Right)

Now,

We need to identify odd numbers that are both preceded and followed by an odd number.

So, the required condition is: Odd Number – Odd Number – Odd Number

(Left) 4, 9, 8, 5, 1, 6, 4, 5, 9, 6, 5, 3, 4, 9, 6, 2, 9, 4, 8, 5, 1, 1, 8, 4, 1, 5, 7 (Right)

Total odd numbers satisfying the condition = 2

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given: A, B, C, D, E and F are sitting in a row facing north.

Only three people are sitting at the right of A.

Only one person is sitting between A and C.

E is sitting second from the extreme left end of the row.

B is not the immediate neighbour of A.

F is sitting to the immediate left of B.

F is sitting to the immediate right of A.

The extreme left end is position 1 → C

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

The logic followed here is:

So, the next term = OLI

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

BODMAS Table: 

Given equation: 68 A 2 D 7 B 5 C (25 A 5) B 9 C 30 A 6 = ?

Now, replacing the symbols as:

 

⇒ 68 ÷ 2 − 7 × 5 + (25 ÷ 5) × 9 + 30 ÷ 6 = ?

⇒ 34 − 7 × 5 + (25 ÷ 5) × 9 + 30 ÷ 6 = ?

⇒ 34 − 35 + 5 × 9 + 5 = ?

⇒ 34 − 35 + 45 + 5 = ?

⇒ −1 + 45 + 5 = ?

⇒ 44 + 5 = ?

⇒ 49

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

The logic followed here is:

thus, "120" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 3".

Given: (Left) 604, 895, 469, 742, 307 (Right)

Now,

We need to identify the highest and lowest numbers from the given set and then perform the required operation on the specified digits.

(Left) 604, 895, 469, 742, 307 (Right)

Highest number = 895

Lowest number = 307

Third digit of highest number = 5

Second digit of lowest number = 0

Now,

Value 1 = 5

Value 2 = 0

Sum  = 5 + 0 = 5

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

For, GBCI → YTUA

Now, AVWC → SNOU

Now, applying the same logic for CXYE:

So, CXYE → UPQW

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

The logic followed here is:

Option 1) TXZ

Option 2) HLP

Option 3) RVX

Option 4) LPR

Here, HLP is odd from the given options because it follows (+4, +4) instead of (+4, +2).

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given: D, E, F, U, V, W and X are sitting in a straight line facing north.

Only two people are seated between U and D.

Only X is seated to the right of F.

Only one person is seated between D and F.

V is seated at some place to the right of E but at some place to the left of W.

Between them are V (3) and D (4) → 2 people

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Code = Sum of letter positions + 7

Given:

WASO → 65

Sum = 23 + 1 + 19 + 15 = 58

Code = 58 + 7 = 65

Now, YKSB → 64

Sum = 25 + 11 + 19 + 2 = 57

Code = 57 + 7 = 64

Now, for LEUC:

Sum = 12 + 5 + 21 + 3 = 41

Now, 41 + 7 = 48

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

Given: (Left) 1, 7, 9, 4, 5, 3 (Right)

Now,

We need to identify odd numbers that are both preceded and followed by another odd number.

So, the required condition is: Odd Number – Odd Number – Odd Number

(Left) 1, 7, 9, 4, 5, 3 (Right)

Total odd numbers satisfying the condition = 1

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

Option 1) HLQ

Option 2) WAE

Option 3) ZDI

Option 4) KOT

Here, WAE is odd from the given options because it follows (+4, +4) instead of the common (+4, +5) pattern.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

Given:

‘never judge people’ → gu uf ha

‘don’t ask people’ → kl td uf

So, people → uf

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.
